Spring Time!

Happy Spring everyone! The weather has teased us with a few nice days, then it'll snow again. But it looks like we've finally turned the corner into some beautiful weather. Along with the nice spring weather has come some fun activities.

DUKE REUNION

Over the weekend of April 12 & 13, Dave and I headed down to Durham for his 10 year reunion. My Dad and stepmother, Marcine, were kind enough to come watch the boys for the weekend. We had a really great time catching up with old friends, seeing our Goddaughter, Nina, and enjoying the gorgeous Duke campus. Here are a few pictures of that weekend -

My favorite running trail - my mom used to walk
this 3 mile loop nearly every day

GRANDPA H's BDAY & EASTER

The following Thursday was Harry's ("Grandpa H") 65th birthday! We were so fortunate that Dave's mom, Anne, came to watch the boys during the week while Dunia was out of town visiting her father. Harry drove to town last Wednesday night, so we were able to celebrate his birthday with him the next day.

Friday morning we all packed up the cars and headed to The Homestead for a quick Easter/Birthday Weekend getaway. Abby was with us as well, though we missed Carrie. It was a great weekend filled with croquet, mini golf, swimming and Easter Egg hunting (for both kids and adults).

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

It's been a great start to Spring and we're excited about all the upcoming events, including Abby's half marathon next weekend!
